    Hello, is it possible to make mu wordpress work with an external mail server just giving it smtp username/password ?

    Also how can i protect the registration process against bots?

    A quick look through the database shows that an email server URL, account and password is assigned to each blog when it is created. You would have to look in the (I'm doing this off memory so bare with me. Locked down, one screen terminal here this morning) wp-includes/wpmu-functions.php file near the end where a blog is created. Should be assigned there.

    Best bet would be to work in a security image and work that into the signup system.
